With the Eureka cancellation announcement coming just days before the final episode in season five filmed, there wasn't going to be much opportunity to wrap the series up. But Eureka writer and executive producer Amy Berg confirmed on twitter the rumors of an extra episode so Eureka could end the series on its own terms.

The series has been granted one additional episode so that means 19 more episodes total - the five remaining to air from season 4.5, plus the now 14 episodes in season five.
